Is Toyota Now The Victim Of A Federal Witch Hunt?

The Obama administration came under pressure Wednesday to disclose more information about its investigation of Toyota Motor Corp. with congressional Republicans questioning whether officials are withholding information that could favor Toyota in some crashes.

Rep. Joe Barton of Texas, the senior Republican on the House Energy and Commerce Committee, sent a letter to the administration's top auto-safety regulator pressing for a detailed update on the government's inquiry into Toyota crashes linked to sudden acceleration. Barton sought information about crash data that, according to a Wall Street Journal article published last week, indicate in dozens of crashes, the driver was jamming on the gas pedal instead of the brakes, suggesting driver error.

Fox news aired the story after the damage was done. Just a fact. And you really don't know who Americans are. Americans definately don't want minorities to fail. In face Americans Cheer on the ones that persevere and succeed. Many great businesses today started from those that went through ellis island got there citizenships followed the law of the land. Only in America my friend, Only in America. America has tried many programs such as affermative action and the like. Minortites in America have more opportunities than ever to grow. It is still up to that person to make the decission to have a better quality of life. Its a persons charactor and attitude that counts not the color of there skin or ethnic background. We were all created equal and we all have our given talents. "Its not what your country can do for you It's what you can do for your country"

Yes, but that does not pardon them from their wrongdoing.
Yes still in that they did not deserve a lot of the trouble they've gone through.
